But...

hit a go-ahead in Comerica in a big spot, and we'll remember it all the same.

You mentioned a little earlier, Jonah, had they not pulled that one out, not only are things bad from a standings perspective and you're heading into this tough trip, but it would have squandered a very good Dylan Cease start.

And Dylan Cease did not get the win in this game.

That's the way she goes.

This is why we don't evaluate pitchers on wins and losses all that often.

But he was tremendous before that.

Seven innings.

of one run ball, couple of walks later in the game, but got through seven on under 100 pitches, which is basically a Maddox for a guy like Dylan Cease, who isn't always the most pitch efficient.

Man, how impressive have you been with the start he's had to his Toronto Blue Jays career?

handed out yeah and this was the thing at the time and i think you know at some point on this show last year when future obviously when you're in a world series run you're not doing as much future free agent stuff as you are in 2024 when from august onward that was like all the all the show was but he did seem you know he was interesting as a as a blue jays target because they have

favored in their free agency a lot of pitchability guys, a lot of multiple pitch guys, but they've had so much success with Kevin Gosman as well.

Could you take Dylan Cease and could you turn him into more of a pitchability guy, a guy who isn't just a... Obviously, he had a lot of success

as a two-pitch guy.

He was top five in Cy Young voting twice with that style of pitching.

But could you get him to be a more well-rounded guy, and would that help him get deeper into games?

And the strike-throwing stuff that we've seen the last couple starts is interesting, too, because, you know, with Robbie Ray, we always joke that, oh, the way that Jays got, you know, fixed him or got him better was like, hey, man, what if you stop walking, guys?

Like, boom, boom, what a genius idea.

What if you stop walking, guys?

But with Dylan Cease, you know, and not that Robbie Ray doesn't have good stuff, but Robbie Ray doesn't have Dylan Cease stuff, even if it is from the left side.
